The previews for my Snippets in Bridge seem to be too small and when I try to view them full screen they don’t increase in size.

How can I tell Bridge to generate larger sized previews of Indesign files including Snippets?

Thanks.

Oops! I meant “…symbols can be stored in Illustrator libraries…”

I have a 2 graphics that occur hundreds of times throughout my book. In reading my CS5 manual, it said that making them symbols first would reduce the final file size. Symbols can be stored in photoshop libraries, but I don’t see a mention of them in indesign libraries. Can they be included in Indesign libraries? My ultimate question is how to best keep the indesign file size down when dealing with multiple identical graphics?

Some of you mentioned that the library can store an embedded picture. How can you embed a placed picture in InDesign?

I was wondering if you edit an image or text file in the library does it effect all files that it is placed in? I have several documents that use the same images and text and i want to be able to edit them all with one step.

The graphics in the library and the snippet are stand alone, they create references and even after deleting the original matter you can place the instance of that through the library and snippet right. all the matter and the links to the graphics are intact.

Think ill just stick to the library, Snippets do the same thing really.
